Violarose,

I hope you're feeling a lot better today!

Your comment about "numb lips and fingers" interested me. Do you experience numbness a lot? Near Christmas I had a numb patch on my right foot that lasted about 2-3 weeks and then went away. Over the last week or so I've had numbness (a sort of "warm" numbness) in my right leg/foot area. Does this happen to you as well?

I'm taking Tegretol 600mg XR once a day.

Take care!

(((hugs)))
